ROASTED CHICKEN WITH HERBES DE PROVENCE

Steps:

• Wash and prep chicken. Place in roaster.

• Put the garlic into the chicken's cavity.
• Put 1/2 the sherry into the cavity and sprinkle half over the chicken's breast.
• Sprinkle the Herbs de Provence over the chicken.
• Roast, covered, at 350F for 60-90 minutes depending on the size of the chicken then remove the lid and roast uncovered another 15-30 minutes until the skin is crisp and the chicken is fully cooked.
• If you want a sauce either use the pan juices to make gravy or deglaze the pan with a little white wine. Either would be delicious.
